2013: Year in Review by National Geographic. Part 1/3

Traders and their yaks cling to a treacherous mountain path in Afghanistan’s Little Pamir. These Kyrgyz nomads eke out a living in a high-altitude area they refer to as the “roof of the world”. That may sound romantic, but “it’s also an environment at the very cusp of human survivability”, writes Michael Finkel in the February issue of National Geographic. “Much of it is above 14,000 feet. The wind is furious; crops are impossible to grow. The temperature can drop below freezing 340 days a year. Many Kyrgyz have never seen a tree”. (Photo by Matthieu Paley/National Geographic)
